Konami is set to expand the legendary Silent Hill franchise with Silent Hill f, a brand-new psychological horror title scheduled for release on September 25, 2025. Unlike previous entries set in the fog-covered American town, Silent Hill f introduces a fresh narrative and a striking new setting inspired by 1960s rural Japan. This bold shift signals Konami’s intent to modernize the franchise while preserving the unsettling atmosphere and psychological depth that defined Silent Hill for decades.
With its haunting visuals, disturbing themes, and narrative-driven horror, Silent Hill f is already one of the most anticipated horror games of 2025.
Konami has officially confirmed that Silent Hill f will launch on September 25, 2025. The game will be released simultaneously across multiple platforms, ensuring broad accessibility for both console and PC players.
Launching Platforms
PlayStation 5
Xbox Series X | S
PC (Steam and Windows platforms)
There has been no confirmation of a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One version, which indicates that Silent Hill f is designed specifically for current-generation hardware to deliver advanced visuals and performance.
A New Direction for the Silent Hill Series
Silent Hill f is being developed by NeoBards Entertainment, a studio known for its work on survival horror titles and collaborations with major publishers. The game is published by Konami, which continues its renewed focus on reviving classic franchises with modern production values.
The story is written by Ryukishi07, the acclaimed Japanese writer famous for psychological horror works such as Higurashi When They Cry. His involvement suggests a heavy emphasis on unsettling storytelling, emotional tension, and symbolic horror rather than simple jump scares.
The game is designed to explore fear through beauty and decay, blending traditional Japanese aesthetics with grotesque imagery, a contrast that aligns perfectly with Silent Hill’s core identity.
